While many of my Christian friends are celebrating the birth of Jesus I started reading the Torah portion on the birth of the leader that preceded this period, Moses and found many very interesting similarities. Here are just a few of those similarities (below) that I hope will enlighten your day.
(1) Both births were hidden for fear of the outside world.
(2) Leaders from the world visited these children when they were in their infancy.
(3) They were both born near animals that could have hurt them.
(4) The society at the time tried to kill them before their actual birth.
